The relational database, redesigned. With one cohesive toolchain. From schema to application.
Rad
Rad reimagines how relational databases integrate with application code. It eliminates the friction between schema definitions, migrations, and type-safe client generation by treating the schema as the single source of truth.
Key innovations:
Unified toolchain: One binary for server, CLI, and code generation
Type-safe generated clients: No ORMs or query builders—clients are auto-generated from your schema
Object storage native: Designed for stateless compute on durable object storage
rad:// protocol: A structured JSON-over-HTTP approach for generated clients, replacing hand-written queries
Simplified data access: Supports nested relationships and complex joins without flattening
Still at v0, but represents an interesting architectural perspective on modernizing database development workflows for cloud-native applications.
